I've been wondering about the Rock Faces-- you know, the ones that Aang smack into during the intro to the show-- and if you choose the Earth skin for this forum, you see them.
Is there any "official" story about them? How they got there? Why they were made?
Just wondering...

I don't think that they were ever officially discussed. My guess is that they are just decorative, and were carved by earthbenders at one point or another. piandao.org/screencaps/ep21/ep21-1466.png They seem similar to these "rock figures" that Avatar Kyoshi was bending in "The Avatar State", so I would say they are just statues, that are found through the Earth Kingdom in various forms. Perhaps they are modeled after ancient animals or spirits. |

Ah yeah, those samurai mask-like statues! I love those rocks.  I haven't heard anything about them either, so I'd agree with ILZ that they're probably just decoration. Maybe from an old Earth Kingdom civilization, since they weren't seen in any of the locations the Gaang went to? I'd like to think there would be something mentioned about them in the Art Book, even if it's just a throw-away line of 'an idea we had but didn't make it into the show,'' but I can't check that out for myself yet. |
